C-19, Here's one 4 ya.

S-I-L and step daughter both work in hospitals. One is a charge nurse the other is EMT. Both have symptoms but can't get tested.

At the same time, two Trader Joes are closed for deep cleaning. Sign on their doors say they are closed because employees tested positive.

Now, how come mini-market employees can get tested but hospital health care workers can't?

I am probably wrong but those things seem important during a crisis.

I believe only one T.J's in Westfield is the only one in N.J. that sells liquor. None sell tobacco.
